Being a Better Ally to LGBT Youth

For this year's Ally Week, our campaign is focusing on the idea that everyone- no matter how they identify in terms of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, etc. can become a better ally to someone else. All members of a school community who consider themselves allies can become even better allies for LGBT students by deepening their understanding about what it is like to be an LGBT-identified student in school today. We hope the activities below shift the national conversation on allyship from becoming allies to taking the next step in learning how to be a vocal and active member of the social justice movement of this generation!

“Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.”

- Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
